Installing Half-Life Source Dedicated Server
The first thing to do is download HLDSUpdateTool, and use this program
to download all the resources for your Dedicated Server. This program will download
all the information stored in the .gcf files as extraced folders, and let you run your server seperate from Steam.
You will want to open this program by running it from cmd.exe (type cmd in yhe run dialog from the start menu).
Before you hit eneter to run the program you need to add some parameters. The basic
commandline is shown below:
X:\progpath\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir "yourdir"
"X is the drive where hldsupdate tool is located.
"progpath" is the path to where you installed hldsupdate.
"yourpath" is the path you want hldsupdate tool to install your server.
When you type this in and press enter, the program will start to download everything needed for the server,
which may take over an hour! After this is done updating, Congratulations! your server is installed!
